Bipedal Walking Robot Lucy

The Robotics and Multibody Mechanics Research Group

The Robotics and Multibody Mechanics Research Group of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) started its research activities on computer-aided analysis of rigid and flexible
mechanical systems in 1990. Its main research is focused on kinematical and dynamical simulations and on the development of new actuators as well as on the control of these mechanical systems.

National and international collaborations

The group is a member of CLAWAR, a European Thematic
network on Climbing and Walking Robots.
